Retail wouldn't survive in this location. The current closest retail is approximately 1,200 feet away, and shoppers won't walk more than 1,000 feet in any direction on average. It's easy enough to say, "yah we need retail", but you would need quite a large amount of retail in this project to create some type of retail density needed to make it viable, probably 20 to 30,000 SF which isn't going to happen. A few small stores along the street at the podium are pretty much destined for failure.
I do agree that the project doesn't meet the street very well, and I wish they would wrap the 3 story townhouses from 133 st to 104 avenue as well.
